Year 6 have been exploring the topic ‘feeling safe’. Last lesson, we discussed what a drug is. The children worked well to discuss the definition of a drug and what the terms of ‘legal and illegal’. As a class we discussed and explored what drugs are used for. We recognised that drugs are ‘A substance that people use to change the way they think, feel or behave.’ We used a Venn diagram to sort different drugs into specific categories, we soon realised that it was not clear cut and it was complicated to sort the drugs into just one circle (medical, non-medical legal and non-medical illegal).
Following on from sorting the names of drugs into its use, we also discussed the law regarding drugs and alcohol. The children worked in pairs and small groups to discuss different scenarios. The children had to decide if the law had been broken, who had broken the law and if it had not been broken, and why it hadn’t.
Well done Year 6 you worked very well.
